Gazebo Arrives

The gazebo for the Sherwood Memorial Park was delivered and set in place today. The gazebo, donated by the Sherwood State Bank, is one of the many items planned for the revitalization of the Sherwood Memorial Park which has been in the works for over 2 years. Some ground work was started late last fall with the installation of wiring and piping and delayed once winter set in. Once the spring weather arrived, the work began on laying out the different walk ways, planter foundations and gardens.

The gazebo will serve as a backdrop for concerts, weddings, memorial services, as well as special events.  The gazebo will be a place to relax, unwind from a stressful day or perhaps enjoy reading a book from the local library. 

The revitalization of Sherwood Memorial Park is being made possible by a $41,000 NatureWorks grant from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources and local donations.
